Where does the time go when you are in the mode....lol


Well I have been still making felt for a very exciting project...
the piece above was a bit too hairy for what was needed 
and the piece below I love but not quite what is needed either.


Piece below just right, a lovely
mix of merino, grey shetland and silk.



Dying sari ribbon which is such a great product.
It's made from strips of recycled silk sari's which are then knotted
or stitched together to give continuous lengths.

I just love the vintage colours and effects 
you are able get with
acid dying them.


Dying thick and thin yarns.....
even tried some softer pastel colours here.


I probably love making the creativity packs the most.
Colour co-ordinated little packs of fun.


It's just as good as working in a sweetie shop
with all the fabulous colours.


Been at home all week with the kids as we have all
had a flu like virus....it's miserable!
Roll on spring!
